New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady completed 30 attempts for one touchdown and 348 yards in Sunday's AFC Championship victory over the Kansas City Chiefs.

What It Means:

Despite two interceptions, Brady was once again his vintage self after producing clutch throws late in the fourth quarter and overtime to lead the Patriots to their third straight Super Bowl. In his ninth attempt to win it all, the future Hall of Famer will need to take down the Los Angeles Rams in order to win his sixth ring.

In two games this postseason, Brady has produced 64 completions for 691 yards and 2 touchdowns.

New England Patriots wide receiver Julian Edelman produced seven receptions for 96 yards in Sunday's overtime victory over the Kansas City Chiefs.

What It Means:

Edelman continued his consistent production in the playoffs with a team high seven receptions and 96 receiving yards. The veteran slot receiver will have another shot at a ring against the Los Angeles Rams in two weeks.

In two games this postseason, Edelman hauled in 16 receptions for 247 yards.

Brees made a key throw to Ted Ginn late in the fourth quarter but committed a key turnover by throwing an interception in overtime. The veteran quarterback will return next season for another Super Bowl run in his final year of his current contract.

In 15 games during the 2018 season, Brees produced 364 completions for 32 touchdowns and 3992 yards.

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara produced 111 scrimmage yards in Sunday's loss to the Los Angeles Rams.

What It Means:

Kamara accounted for most of New Orleans' offense on Sunday, leading the team in targets, receptions, and receiving yards. The second-year back will return next season with potentially a larger workload with Mark Ingram eligible for free agency.

In 15 games this season, Kamara rushed for 14 touchdowns and 883 yards on 194 attempts.

Reynolds was mostly quiet against the Saints before exploding for 66% of his receiving production in the second half. The second year receiver flashed his versatility in McVay's scheme on Sunday by rushing for 16 yards on his only attempt.

In 16 games this season, Reynolds produced 29 receptions for 402 receiving yards and 5 touchdowns.

In a revenge spot against his former team, Cooks provided a huge spark for the Rams offense with a 36-yard catch in their first scoring drive and later three more receptions in a touchdown drive in the third quarter. The speedy 25-year old receiver will play in his second consecutive Super Bowl in two weeks.

In 16 games this season, Cooks scored 6 touchdowns on 90 combined touches.

Goff got off to a shaky start with an early interception in the first quarter but was able to rebound with a touchdown pass to Tyler Higbee. The former first overall pick has made huge strides in his third season and will look to win his first championship in two weeks.

In 16 games during the 2018 season, Goff produced 364 completions for 32 touchdowns and 4688 yards.

Free agent running back Kareem Hunt's suspension length will be determined before the start of free agency, reports Ian Rapoport of NFL Network.

What It Means:

Hunt is being investigated by the league for three separate off-field incidents and the goal is for the discipline to be handed down sometime before March, which marks the beginning of free agency. Rapoport expects Hunt, who turns 24 in August, to play in 2019.

Hunt averaged 19.7 FanDuel points in 11 games for the Chiefs this season, with 181 carries for 824 yards and 7 touchdowns and 26 receptions (35 targets) for 378 yards and another 7 touchdowns.

Kansas City Chiefs running back Spencer Ware (hamstring) was upgraded to a full participant in Thursday's practice.

What It Means:

This should put Ware on track to play in Sunday's AFC Championship Game against the New England Patriots. He's been sidelined since Week 14. Damien Williams will likely continue to shoulder most of the backfield work for Kansas City.

It's notable because Watt missed most of the 2016 and 2017 seasons due to a tibia injury, but Rapoport says the procedure was "just some maintenance on an injury that bothered him during the season." Watt turns 30 in March.

Watt recorded 57 tackles (44 solo), 16 sacks, 7 forced fumbles, and 4 pass deflections in 16 games for the Texans this season.

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Leonard Fournette is "in a really good place" following a meeting with the running back last week, head coach Doug Marrone said.

What It Means:

"We had a good meeting," Marrone said. "I’m not going to speak for Leonard, but when he left that meeting … I think he’s in a really good place. That’s encouraging and I’m excited about that." Fournette reportedly "cleared the air" with Jaguars Executive Vice President Tom Coughlin last week, quelling speculation that the two sides would part ways this offseason after injuries and poor decision-making plagued the back's 2018 campaign.

Fournette rushed 133 times for 439 yards and 5 touchdowns and caught 22 passes (26 targets) for 185 yards and 1 touchdown in eight games this season.

Berry was unable to play in the Divisional Round after not practicing most of last week but a full participation today is a great sign of improvement. If the Chiefs defense can even get Berry back in a limited role, his presence in their secondary would be a huge boost.

The Kansas City pass defense finished the 2018 season with a 14th overall ranking according to numberFire's models.

Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton could potentially sit out the 2019 season if he undergoes a second shoulder operation, per comments from David Tepper.

What It Means:

"If you told me he took a year off and could recover and be fully recovered and everything else, and that's what it took, an extra year, why wouldn't you do that," Tepper replied when asked to compare Newton's situation to that of Indianapolis Colts quarterback Andrew Luck, who sat out the 2017 season after undergoing a second shoulder surgery. Newton is currently going the rest-and-rehab route after being shut down for the final two games of the season.

Newton averaged 242.5 passing yards (7.2 yards per attempts) on a career-high 67.9 completion percentage in 14 games this season, with 24 touchdowns and 13 interceptions. He added another 488 yards and 4 touchdowns on the ground.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers defensive tackle Gerald McCoy has a "real chance" of being released this offseason, writes ESPN team reporter Jenna Laine.

What It Means:

The Bucs would save $13 million against the cap by releasing McCoy, who has three years remaining on his contract, but no guaranteed money. Turning 31 next month, McCoy has 6-plus sacks in six straight seasons.

There was some rumblings that the Eagles would commit to Nick Foles following a late-season surge, but Wentz is the superior talent, as well as a younger option who projects to be cheaper on the books over the next couple seasons. The main question will be whether or not the 26-year-old can stay healthy after missing 17 combined games over the past two seasons.

The Washington Redskins re-signing of impending free agent wide receiver Jamison Crowder should be an offseason priority, head coach Jay Gruden said Monday.

What It Means:

"He's got great quickness in intermediate routes, can separate, has good hands, he's tough, he's physical in the running game," said Gruden. "There is really not anything that Jamison can't do. We have to try and get him back for sure." An ankle injury forced Crowder to miss seven games in 2018, but he was effective when active, recording a career-high 13.4 yards per reception. Crowder turns 26 in June.

Crowder caught 29 passes (49 targets) for 388 yards and 2 touchdowns in nine games for Washington this season.
